Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) - Ni**as In Poorest [Music Video]

The artist formerly known as Mos Def, now known as Yasiin Bey, drops the vivid visuals for his social commentary, "Ni**as In Poorest". Mos, as always, comes through with the socially conscious lyrics in order to remind listeners about the real issues. For those of you trying to make something out of nothing, this is not a diss track towards Kanye and Jay-Z. This is just the first remake of Bey's "Top 40 Underdogs" project. Keep an eye out for the next one coming soon! Mean while watch the video below!

Last night on The Colbert Report Talib Kweli and Yassiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) premiered and performed Black Star's newest Madlib produced single, Fix Up with J. Rocc of the world famous Beat Junkies. Talib and Yassiin go back and forth on Madlib's trademark, sample heavy beat as one of the best duos to ever do it. Hopefully this means there is a new collaborative album in the works!

It's become increasingly clear that if you wanna keep a track on lockdown...don't give it to J.Rocc. The Beat Junkies DJ dropped this Untitled snippet produced by Madlib on BBC 1 Radio the other night which has had the internet buzzin' for a possible 2nd album? Hopefully this will be the comeback of one hip-hops greatest duos that we have all been waiting for.
